Alternate History Politics

Jeb Bush has come under fire for answering a very stupid question by saying yes, if he could go back in time, he would kill Baby Hitler. Of course the proper answer to this question is that he would kidnap Baby Hitler and have him reared by a nice Jewish family. If we needed proof about just how foolish our politics have become this question being asked, and Bush answering it, is Exhibit A.

First, he shows his naïvete in answering a “what-if” question.
.
Second, formulaic answers for liberal “When did you stop beating your wife?” questions: “What does that have to do with the horrid economy?” Or, “What difference does it make now?”
.
Third, Bush, Kasich, and Rubio (he lies) pander to illegal immigrants – it’s economics and politics, not racism or social justice. If any of these is the GOP nominee, I’m sitting out 2016.

I’m independent. In this state I don’t vote in primaries.

Excellent first video.

For the 2nd video, the correct answer to the question, “Would you have killed Hitler as a baby?” Would be:
.
“You mean murder a baby as you Democats do the preborn, and then sell their internal organs on the open market to the highest bidder? The Nazis were tried for crimes against humanity at Nuremberg and hung by their necks because they did similar things.”

Mathew 13 The Parable of the Weeds
24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’

28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.

“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”

I don’t know Bush’s thoughts about being able to identify sociopaths at birth and applying eugenicist ideas as a solutions to human problems. (ractions are based on ideas or thoughts)

Hitlers’s reasoning became poisoned. He claimed that he was still a Catholic and would ever be one, even though it was obvious that he was not.
I think the idea of killing him as a baby was a sly question, bringing up the possibility of killing a child ( or children) for the “good” of society as a whole. When might it be possible to murder a child?
The bible is clear that the killing of innocents is evil. the left thinking seems to be titillated by “lifeboat” type of questions, wanting to choose winners and losers, selecting who can live, of course despite the claim to be on the side of the powerless.
